Robin Hobb

[musingaloud]

Picked up from my flist -- from a couple of different people, and of course it was 2 or 3 or more days ago, so I can't recall who -- Robin Hobb's opinion on writer's blogs.  I point it out not because I necessarily agree with her, but because I think if you read it you will find a true wordsmith who knows the power and beauty of language and evoking images.  If you have not read any of Ms. Hobb's books, shame on you.  If you're a fantasy lover, you will fall in love with them.  I can guarantee it.  These are the three trilogies I've read: 

The Farseer Trilogy:  Assassin's Apprentice; Royal Assassin; Assassin's Quest
The Tawny Man Trilogy:  Fool's Errand; Golden Fool; Fool's Fate
The Liveship Traders Trilogy:  Ship of Magic; The Mad Ship; Ship of Destiny

So here, go take a look:  Robin Hobb's Home

She has a good point about the time-wasting factor of blogging.  The other day as I was baby-sitting the Grandbaby and bemoaning to myself how far behind I am in everything and how I haven't time to do anything, I wondered how the heck I did it when my kids were little and I stayed home with them and kept my house in top-notch shape.  And then I remembered:  Oh yeah, that was before the internet and before I even had a computer.  Duh.
